  1. a boat is just a small vessel like 30 ft long at the longest, a ship is really big like 100ft long to tanker sized. a yacht is just a personla go out and have fun 75 ft long thing. yachts are normally sailboats or like the big one on 007 casino royal.


  2. The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

  3. The main difference between a boat and a ship is this:  a boat is designed and used on inland waters.  a Ship travels the seas. A "yacht" is a generic term that has many meanings, but my choice is that it is a personally owned ship.

  4. One definition that is often used is that you can fit a boat inside a ship but you cannot fit a ship inside a boat.  A ship is a commercial vessel such as a passenger ship, a freighter or a tanker.  A boat is smaller - could be a fishing boat, a dinghy, a sailboat, a row boat, etc., and could actually be fairly large.  A yacht is a personally owned pleasure "boat", either a sail boat or a power boat, but is not a ship.

  5. Boat   =  10ft to 34ft   (generally)

    Yacht  =   34ft to 65ft  (generally)

    Ship  = 100ft on up

    Boats are used like the other person said, inland waters and big waters.  Used for families and water sports

    Yachts are used to basically live on

    Ships are used to transport goods

  6. A yacht is a purely recreational vessel, powered by sail or engines, and can range in size from a one man sailing vessel, to a 200 feet plus cruiser.

    The easiest way to differentiate the other two is that you can put a boat on a ship, but you can't put a ship on a boat

  7. A boat is a vessel that is hauled aboard a ship. A yacht would be a personal ship with no commercial use.

  8. 1,ship; war ship, passengers ship, store delivery ships etyc

    2.A YACHT :S INGLE PERSON / TWO USE IT BY ENSURING THE CLOTH ABOVE AND DIRECTION CAN BE CHANGED OVER SEE OR A BIG  DEEP WATER TESTS USUALLY TEAM COMPETETION

    3. BOAT IS A COMVEYER OF PEOPLE TO OTHER SIDE BY A ROWER
